Chandler is confident of his victory over Makhachev

UFC lightweight Michael Chandler is confident of beating the organization's featherweight champion Islam Makhachev.

"I think he will pass Arman and remain champion, and after I beat Charles Oliveira at Madison Square Garden, good old American wrestling will beat Dagestan Sambo with no options. I believe that Islam's style suits me perfectly. I have a lot of respect for him, he's our champion, but I've always wanted to fight Khabib, and who knows how that fight would have turned out. So, I want to beat Islam after I beat Oliveira in 60 days."
